Singh died at 92 of age-related illnesses on December 26, triggering an outpouring of grief and tributes from across the world. The government has announced seven days of state mourning as a mark of respect.
Biden said he and his wife Jill joined the people of India in grieving the loss of Singh, without whose "strategic vision and political courage" the unprecedented level of cooperation today between India and the US "would not have been possible".
"From forging the US-India Civil Nuclear Agreement to helping launch the first Quad between Indo-Pacific partners, he charted pathbreaking progress that will continue to strengthen our nations - and the world - for generations to come. He was a true statesman. A dedicated public servant. And above all, he was a kind and humble person," Biden said in a statement.
